Episode 57 - The Ethics of Play to Earn -Part 2 (with Tom Rodgers)
Putting blockchain and NFTs into games and marketing that as Play to Earn promises a revolution in gaming that will make money for both game studios and players.  It’s a win-win for everybody! – or is it just hype created by cryptobros to ruin games by turning them into money-making machines?  What is the promise of Play to Earn supposed to be and what ethical concerns does it raise with regards to how it treats both players and developers? --------------------------- Our guest for this episode is Dr. Tom Rodgers, a Sociologist and Criminologist working at the University of Sunderland UK. He is interested in the commercial logics of the videogames industry, specifically how the industry has experimented with – and ethically justified – methods of measurement and monetization. He has also published work on how videogames offer up ‘ethically exceptional’ experiences in the British Journal of Criminology. Tom is also the co-founder of the international video games research network MultiPlay. --------------------------- JOIN THE ETHICS AND VIDEO GAMES COMMUNITY: - Follow/like/share us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube  - Explore our website and check out our Video Games Ethics Resources Center: https://ethicsandvideogames.com - If you're game to lend us your financial support, we'd love to have it and can definitely use it!  You can do that here: SUPPORT OUR PODCAST! - Give us a review whereever you listen to podcasts - If you've got an idea or an ethical issue involving video games that you think would make for a good podcast, please let us know!  Contact us at ethicsandvideogames.com or email us at contact@ethicsandvideogames.com.  We’d love to hear from you!
